Ages & Divisions

Little League age is based on the age of the player as of August 31st.

For example, if your player turns 9 on or before August 31st, they are age eligible to play (AA) Coach Pitch or to try out for (AAA) Into to Kid Pitch, as indicated in the first chart below.

For the Spring 2025 Little League season, RWCLL will follow the Little League International's 2025 Age Chart, the second chart below.

For the Fall 2024 Little League season, RWCLL will use the same 2025 Age Chart, as Fall Ball is meant to prepare the player for the Division in which they will play NEXT Spring.
